Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 589 Second Impact, Weird Pollution

"Have you joined the Natural School? It's still related to that paper... What's going on here?"

Ren was quite surprised and looked at the scholar Dennis suspiciously.

The super power of the Natural School is notoriously difficult to join, and the threshold is extremely high.

Unless they are geniuses cultivated by the school from a young age, only those who have been promoted to the fourth level before the age of 30, or scholars who can publish two influential papers in top journals, may be invited to join the natural school.

Dennis doesn't qualify.

He is now in his 40s, and the last time Ren met him in the plain, he was still a peak third-order [Druid Mimic].

Dennis's academic level is not low, but it can't meet the extremely harsh standards of the natural school.

The so-called influential papers are put on the earth, which are almost the papers that have published academic achievements that can win the Nobel Prize.

"My luck is good, there are several elders from the natural school who are researching wraiths, after all, it is related to the second impact...

My dissertation on the ancestral spirits of the Kangao people has caught the attention of an elder. "

Dennis's face was somewhat rejoiced. Joining the Natural School was the dream of every scholar-professional.

Putting it on the earth, this is more gratifying than winning the Nobel Prize.

"The Natural School is studying Wraiths? Wait a minute." Ren was taken aback for a moment before realizing, "You just said that the second impact...could it be related to Wraiths?"

Regarding the second impact, Renn only knew that it was about to happen.

What exactly it refers to is unknown, but according to the roar of Prince Miro's clone before it fell, it seems that the impact of the second impact is not beneficial to humans.

"It's not related to the wraith, but the existence of the spirit body and half-spirit body was first affected. It's not so much an impact, it's more like a kind of pollution..."

Dennis pushed his glasses and said in a very professional tone.

"Spiritual body, pollution?"

After chanting a few words, Ren suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Scholar Dennis, how much do you know about the second impact? When will it happen, and what exactly does it refer to?" Ryan couldn't help but throw out a series of questions.

Scholar Dennis has joined the most mysterious natural school, and may know more inside information.

"The second impact has already begun, but it hasn't reached its peak. As for the specific situation, I'm actually not too sure... Forget it, come with me and take a look."

Dennis rubbed his sore eyelids, and slowly stood up.

He walked to the inside of the shop, pushed open a stone door, and beckoned Ryan to go in together.

This is a small laboratory. As soon as he entered, Ren could smell various plants and herbs.

The light inside is a bit dim, and the most eye-catching thing is a white laboratory table, on which are placed test tubes, distillation bottles, crucibles, tweezers, alcohol lamps and other items.

In a translucent glass counter next to it, you can see the body of the two-tailed lizard, Kudinghua, red heart grass, and yellow spring flower petals and other materials.

"Ren, come and see for yourself." Dennis came to the side of the experiment table and pulled a black cloth strip.

Under the cloth strip is a long glass container.

This glass container is 1 meters high, engraved with some golden seal runes, and filled with a light green liquid, emitting a strange fluorescence.

clap~

A white skull was soaked in the liquid, his bone claws kept beating against the glass wall, his upper and lower jaws opened and closed, and dark white flames danced in the eye sockets.

"This is, a ghost viscount of the Bone Race?" Ren was a little surprised, and asked Dennis beside him in a daze, "Why are you showing me this?"

"Ren, do you think that if this situation is maintained and soaked in this liquid, the strength of a ghost can be improved?" Scholar Dennis asked back.

"Of course not!"

Ren touched the outer wall of the glass container, and the breath of holy power on it was very strong.

The outer wall of this container is sealed with a powerful holy text, and the energy contained in the liquid inside is neutral.

The half-spirit ghosts that feed on negative resentment and blood essence are trapped inside and cannot be replenished at all. It is good not to be weak, how can it be possible to improve their strength.

"This was originally a dark baron-level ghost, close to the viscount level. I had imprisoned him for a month before... Four days ago, he broke through to the dark viscount level."

Dennis' voice was very flat, but there was a strange look in his eyes.

"How is this possible? Without any additions, he can be promoted?!"

Ren was very surprised, staring fixedly at the demon viscount in the glass container.

This is not scientific at all, energy is not conserved... Cough, in short, this is too strange.

This is like an ordinary person, who has not eaten or drank for almost a month, not only did he not starve to death, he became weaker, and he became stronger... Isn't this the devil?

"But this is the fact, and this is not an exception!"

"According to the elders' speculation, this is a more advanced and concealed type of radiation, pollution, penetration... even blended with space fluctuations, which can affect spirit bodies regardless of distance, making them stronger and more unpredictable... ..."

"Ren, you are a demon hunter who specializes in dealing with cases of demons and wraiths harming people. You should know that wraiths and ghosts are more active than ever recently, right?"

Dennis calmly narrated that his words made Ren a little embarrassed.

"Well, I actually haven't handled many cases, and I've completed very few demon hunting missions." Ren blushed rarely.

He is a "demon hunter master" who is not competent at all, that is, he is wearing a layer of witcher's skin, and he is not as professional as Shirley.

"That's right, you are much better at killing people than hunting demons. Marcello, the ghost hand, and the drug lord Matt were all killed by you, right?"

The corner of Dennis's mouth twitched, as if thinking of something, he continued to tease:
"When I was in the plain area, I heard that Sir Ackerman, the 'Human Rights Fighter', is committed to the peaceful coexistence of the natives and citizens, and Master Ackerman, the 'Ranger of Justice' designed to eliminate the Skeleton Gang and the traitor Marcello.

Master 'Evil Buster' Ackerman fights the drug lord Matt... Except that you don't know how to hunt demons, you do other jobs very well, why don't you change your name to Human Killer. "

Ren rolled his eyes when he heard that.

Before breaking through the "Dark Cave" of the Demon Realm, he was not really unknown, but his "brilliant deeds" were basically spread around the plain.

To be honest, in the area of ​​Dilamo City and Wilton City, everyone with a certain amount of weight knows his name.

"Dennis, are you still laughing at me? Aren't you not doing your job properly? The other druids are all studying plants and potions...you are now studying spirit bodies.

You might as well switch careers and become a wizard. "

Not to be outdone, Ren made a few ironic remarks, and Dennis laughed, but was not angry.

After the two chatted for a while, Dennis regained his composure and said seriously:
"Some things have already been foreshadowed. Even if you didn't go hunting demons, you know that Carlos the gunman broke through the sanctuary."

"The gun ghost broke through the sanctuary, and this incident is also related to the second impact?" Ren raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

It's all going to go where, it's impossible to hit eight poles.

"Of course, do you know what Carlos is practicing?" Dennis asked meaningfully.

Ren was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's the Twelve Movements of the Netherworld, the gun of ghosts and souls!"

After Carlos was sanctified, his deeds and a lot of information came to light.

At that time, Carlos of the [Lancer] profession found a different way, and integrated several movements in the "Twelve Movements of the Netherworld" that the "Shadow Warrior" profession was most suitable for cultivation into his own spear skills and domain, and cultivated a soul-devouring The soul-devouring spear of the power of resentment!
"No wonder, Carlos' unreliable method of forcibly breaking through the sky with bloody battles succeeded..." Ren suddenly had a realization.

He looked at the scholar Dennis beside him, who nodded and sighed leisurely:
"Indeed, as you imagined, there was no external force that could help Carlos's peak sanctuary, which was only one opportunity away from being sanctified, but..."

"... Carlos' weapon—the soul-devouring gun has swallowed too many spiritual grievances... Many of them have even become the prototype of his domain and a part of his own power."

"The power of the spirit body's resentful soul skyrocketed due to the second impact, pushing Carlos' power to continue to rise, plus a bloody slaughter, soul devouring... The internal and external forces converged and exploded... He forcibly broke through the sky and achieved the sanctuary! "

This is the secret and reason why Carlos, the gun ghost who was unable to break through for a long time, suddenly achieved sanctuary!

That's why it wasn't Alex the Axe, Kelvin the One-armed Killer, and Roland the Illusionist who broke through.

They were no worse than Carlos, they just missed an opportunity.

"This..." Listening to Dennis' analysis, Ren felt a sense of enlightenment. He said, "The ghost prince who suddenly recovered—Christian, he..."

If he remembered correctly, it was Prince Miro who had been doing things in Pineapple Town on the Pugani Plain before.

The prince of the goblin tribe, Christian suddenly woke up.

And he still seems to be in near peak form!
"That's right, after Prince Christian woke up, he wasn't as weak as Prince Miro for a few years... That's why, he was almost at his peak when he woke up!"

Dennis said very calmly.

He pointed to the demon viscount in the glass container who was constantly beating on the glass wall, looking "vigorous".

Under normal circumstances, the demon spawn recovered from "slumber" would have a period of weakness, as was the case with Prince Miro, otherwise Gonzales would not have hit him so easily...

After all, although Prince Milo couldn't pull it off, he still has two brushes.

Dennis covered the glass container with a black cloth:

"The ghost clan is a half-spiritual body, close to a spiritual body. Among the demons, they were the first to benefit from the second shock.

Not surprisingly, the ghost clan will be very active next. "

That's it!

Ren took a few deep breaths, and he suddenly remembered the curse spirit in his ring──"Headless Horseman"!
Some time ago, the otaku who had always been very quiet and honest—"Headless Horseman" suddenly went berserk and attacked Artoria who was practicing in the basement of the villa.

If Keisha hadn't returned home in time, Artoria alone might not be able to suppress the vicious headless horseman.

Ren originally thought it was an accident, it should be the holy power breath that the king of dull hair overflowed when he was practicing, which stimulated the "headless horseman".

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple!
The "Gun Demon" Carlos became holy, the ghost prince woke up in almost full state, and the headless horseman ran away... Yiye Zhiqiu, everything actually has signs, but it is easy to be ignored.

"Then when will the second impact reach its peak?"

Ren looked at Dennis and asked with a very serious face.

"In January next year, I would like to remind you that recently, try to prepare some skills, potions, or equipment that can restrain spirit bodies... Spirit bodies will become very difficult to deal with in the future!
In addition to ghosts, other demons will also get some benefits, after all, it is a kind of pollution radiation that tends to be dark and chaotic..."

Dennis asked earnestly, and led Ren out of the laboratory.

"Thank you, do you know where masks are sold? I want those high-end products."

After writing down the scholar's entrustment, Ren remembered his purpose of coming to the black market.

Sir Ackerman is already famous this time, and sometimes it may be necessary to conceal his identity. It is best to have something that can be disguised.

"You kid, don't you want to do something bad?"

Dennis looked at Ren in a little surprise. Under normal circumstances, who wears a mask!
Ren pouted, patted his chest and assured:
"Look at my upright face, am I that kind of person?

Evil Slayer, Justice Ranger, Human Rights Fighter... It's me!I am Sir Ackerman and I speak for myself! "

"Then why did you buy a mask, and even a high-end product?" Dennis' cheeks twitched, saying that you are fat and you are panting.

"I don't leave my name behind when I do good deeds, and I won't take a cloud with me with a wave of my sleeves." Ren said without blushing.

"On the east side of the black market, there is a witch in the innermost part. She may have that kind of high-end goods. Besides, don't offend that woman." Scholar Dennis replied with his eyes rolled.

"Thank you." Ren thanked him and left.

"Guests go slowly, friends go slowly!" A colorful parrot spread its wings on the table and waved goodbye to Ryan.

.........

Ren walked out of the restaurant and strolled through the black market.

He pondered and digested the news he got from the scholar Dennis, and at the same time, he heard the discussions of everyone in the black market.

Regarding the sanctification of Carlos the gunman, the fight between Karl the butcher and Gonzalez, the head of the Knights Templar, and the setting up of the Demon Realm by Prince Miro... these things are still hot.

Of course, Sir Ackerman became a blockbuster, which is also considered hot news.
There is also the recovery of the ghost prince, and the huge vortex sea of ​​light appearing in the sky above Dilamo City, which are also the focus of everyone's discussion.

But the most talked about is about extraordinary power, professional information, and some resources are unblocked.

"That's all for the Pugani Plain, even the city of Melova has been attacked!"

Around the table, two low-level transcendents with no background who were drinking were all amazed:
"Captain Karl in the 7th round of the Dark Prince's fierce battle, the Demon Realm has trapped many strong men... Alas, the tide has already reached this point?"

For those of them who are grassroots, or those who have accidentally stepped into the path of the extraordinary, above the fourth level is really a myth.

"The storm is coming, war is inevitable!" A short-haired young man couldn't help but lamented, "It is said... that many kingdoms will release some restrictions on supernatural information, and nobles have proposed that low- and middle-level occupations with no power Enlistment, registration bills are required!"

"Don't you want to mess up the world?" Another strong drunkard shouted immediately.

"No... It is said that they are just using the many middle and low-level wild extraordinary people with no background in the kingdom to develop extraordinary power as soon as possible!"

"Hehe, can nobles, the Steam Alliance, and the big forces of the Church of Illuminati agree? The rise of civilians and grassroots transcendents will pose a threat to them, right?"

"That's why you need to register your information and then join the army."

"Even so, are those people willing to use resources to train us? Thinking about it, it's impossible. It is said that the king and the nobles have quarreled several times..."

There was an unabashed mockery on the face of the Transcendent who said the last sentence.

Obviously, they also know that these proposals are just a cover.

Those who really manipulate the world are the various royal families, those great nobles, and the huge forces that have been passed down for hundreds of years, such as the Steam Alliance and the Demon Hunter Association.

"Nowadays when the tide is coming...it is true that many habits have to be changed..."

While drinking orange juice, Ren strolled through the black market, listening to the discussions of the drinkers, thinking.

Letting go of some restrictions and disclosing extraordinary information is of course beneficial to ordinary people, and may even give birth to a large number of civilian professionals.

But among them, there may not be any taboos.

And, are those big powers and nobles really willing to share their extraordinary power with ordinary people?
'Do you want rulers to voluntarily give up their privileges?Is this a dream? '

Ren's heart moved. If he was a big nobleman and a manipulator of a big force, it's really hard to say what he would choose.

Perhaps the kingdom and those nobles just use these commoner extraordinary people and wild middle and low-level extraordinary people as cannon fodder...

Of course, Ryan didn't care about these things.

He was already a high-level extraordinary person, and he also belonged to such a powerful force as the Demon Hunter Association, so he couldn't be affected or calculated.

As for what everyone is equal, free and fair, everyone is like a dragon... Sorry, he is not that kind of hero at all.

On Earth, everyone is an ordinary person, and freedom and equality are just a pretense.

Here, saints can break mountains and rivers, fly into the sky to escape from the earth, and live for 500 years overlooking the world... Can they be expected to be equal to ordinary people?

In most countries on the Saigon mainland, there are two sets of laws, one for ordinary people and one for extraordinary people.

Like Faroran Kingdom, Bureau 7 deals with demons and incidents about superhumans, and the Public Security Bureau deals with crimes committed by ordinary people.

'I... am not a hero. '

Ren shook his head and entered a dark corner. He lowered the hood of his cloak and covered half of his face again.

In this way, it is not much different from many customers in the black market.

He started looking for a target.

There are two types of stalls in the black market. One type occupies a megalithic building as a shop, and the shopkeepers are relatively powerful, such as the restaurant of scholar Dennis.

Those who can occupy the store are basically expert-level and master-level transcendental beings, or the spokespersons of high-level transcendental beings.

There is also a street stall that is spontaneously set up. The stall owners are mixed, and the goods are good and bad. It all depends on your eyesight.

Ren came to a stall.

All kinds of amulets are sold here, and the materials range from obsidian, bronze, silver, gold, gemstones... everything.

But in his perception, he couldn't feel any extraordinary aura at all.

"How about it? Do you want a talisman that protects against undead?"

The peddler was a fat man with a golden harpy mask.

After seeing Renn staying, he immediately introduced to him enthusiastically: "Sir, this is the anti-spirit amulet, it can protect you from the harm of the spirit body and resentful soul!"

'I almost believed your evil! '

Ren stared at the bone amulet in his hand very speechlessly.

He felt that just sending a first-order Wraith Spirit could kill the fat man in front of him in seconds.

Selling fake products on Chaofan side, is this trying to harm people?

He knows that some ordinary people are eager to step into the threshold of the extraordinary, and they may really be deceived. The things on the extraordinary side are precious... This has led to many scammers in the black market.

Ren endured it, waved his hand to signal no need, and after turning around, he became even more speechless.

With his current knowledge and vision, coupled with the ability "Eye of Delusion Breaker", he can barely be considered vicious now.

As a result, after visiting the stalls in this circle, I found that there are very few real good things, and some fake ones are very expensive!
And a piece of tile that is said to have been transported from the Nocman Empire is obviously useless, and these black-hearted businessmen dare to sell it for 100 gold coins!

As for the plots that are often missed in novels, don't even think about it!
In this world, how can there be so many leaks and so many treasures for you to pick up?It's not the protagonist of the world, Child of Destiny.

After a lap down.

Ren was sure that he really didn't have the power of luck, and there was no way to pick up the leak, so he had to resign himself to his fate and entered a regular store.
